Vernon Hill Dog Park

The Greater Worcester Land Trust is a modest 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Worcester, Massachusetts. GWLT was founded on August 24, 1987, with the mission of conserving and protecting Worcester County's valuable open space.

It's a fenced-in and secure space where dogs and dog lovers may socialize and enjoy the companionship of other animals. The dog park is near the railroad bridge in Mailea Square, at the intersection of Franklin Street, Foster Street, Francis J. McGrath Boulevard, and Green Street.

Hiking trails, a 1912 sandstone observation tower, and seats may be found in this 117-acre woodland park.

Welcome to Groton's trail system, which you are invited to explore. Groton includes more than ten square miles of conserved property and more than a hundred miles of maintained paths. Lakes, eskers, oxbows, drumlins, kettle holes, rivers, streams, vernal pools, fields, hills, working farms, swimming holes, a historic barn, beaver dams, kinetic art, bike trails, and, of course, wildlife can all be found here.

The Town of Thompson's Field purchased 57 acres in 1984, which is now known as the Thompson's Field Conservation Area. Groundwater running toward the adjacent public wellfield was mostly protected by the mosaic of woodlands and farmland.

Hiking, relaxing, and animal viewing opportunities in a natural setting with trees and ponds.
